I was about to make a joke about his death but that would be too offensive and unsensitive 8) .

Anyways, RIP and thanks for my iPod and for creating the hardware that gave birth to Myst, it's a bit shocking that he died being so young.

I feel for his family, but I feel even worse that one of my first thoughts was, "I wonder if this means iOS has a better chance of getting Flash."

If the people buy them, they are not overpriced. Maybe realizing he could charge ridiculous prices was part of his business genius.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Yes and no, hell, I want a stereoscopic 3D presentation in my funeral, that's how serious I am about death :lol: .

I was thinking of saying that his black turtleneck shrunk and choked him to death but that's horrible.

I knew he was sick, but this was very sudden. I thought he would live at least 10 more years. This must be the reason he retired a few months ago.

I dislike Apple products, but I gotta admit that Steve Jobs was a fucking genius. It's really a shame for him to die so young.
